New associate VP will direct Georgia Center
Lorilee R. Sandmann has been appointed to the position of associate vice president for public service and outreach with primary oversight of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, effective Sept. 4, pending approval from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
Sandmann is coming to UGA from Cleveland State University, where she has served as vice provost for institutional effectiveness and strategic partnerships since 1999. Prior to that, she held a number of teaching and executive leadership positions in outreach and cooperative extension at Michigan State University and the University of Minnesota. She holds a B.S. in home economics education and an M.A. in adult education from the University of Minnesota, and a Ph.D. in adult education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“We are excited to have an administrator and scholar of Dr. Sandmann’s caliber joining the executive team of UGA’s Office of Public Service and Outreach,” says Art Dunning, vice president for public service and outreach. “Her enthusiasm and expertise in program development and strategic planning will help position the Georgia Center and UGA as models for 21st-century institutional engagement and outreach.”
During her 28 years in program leadership, staff and facilities administration, and public service, Sandmann has distinguished herself as a leader in the field. She has published widely in books and journals devoted to outreach, higher education, and community development; developed numerous presentations and workshops; and demonstrated success in fund raising and institutional strategic planning.
She has received many prestigious awards and distinctions, including the 2000 International Futures Award for Exceptional and Innovative Leadership from the University Continuing Education Association, the UCEA Continuing Education Award--Administration, and the Outstanding Service Medallion from the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education.
